Skills Development and Training
In addition to funding, Trimstar emphasizes education and training in business-related fields. Youth are taught critical skills such as budgeting, marketing, and business management, which are essential for running successful enterprises. These programs are tailored to meet the unique needs of the community, ensuring relevance and practicality.
Partnerships for Success
Trimstar collaborates with local organizations like PAGETE Youth Welfare and Rexus Studios to organize talent shows, events, and community activities that showcase the skills of young entrepreneurs. These events not only provide a platform for networking but also encourage collaboration and innovation among participants.
Policy Advocacy and Research
Trimstar actively participates in research and policy advocacy to address the financial challenges faced by youth. For example, the organization has conducted surveys and polls to understand young people’s attitudes toward saving and financial inclusion. Insights from this research inform Trimstar’s strategies, ensuring they are evidence-based and impactful.
Building Resilience
Through its Jijenge Kimaisha Initiative, Trimstar equips young people with the financial knowledge and resilience needed to weather economic shocks, such as unemployment. By fostering savings behavior and promoting responsible financial management, the organization helps youth build a safety net for the future.

Trimstar’s business empowerment initiatives are not just about creating wealth; they are about building a generation of self-reliant, confident, and innovative youth who contribute meaningfully to their communities. The organization believes that empowered youth can drive sustainable economic development and inspire others to follow their lead.
In summary, Trimstar’s business initiatives provide a comprehensive framework for economic empowerment, blending access to resources, skills training, and financial services. By addressing the root causes of economic challenges and offering practical solutions, Trimstar is transforming the lives of youth and fostering a culture of entrepreneurship and growth in Kariobangi South and beyond.
